Correct. Though the word 'honourable' begins with a consonant (h), the initial sound of the word is a vowel sound (o sound) since 'h' is silent. So, 'an honourable officer' is the correct expression. Though the word 'betterment' is an abstract noun, in this sentence, it is being used in a specific sense (betterment of our nation). Thus, the definite article -the- is required. The correct answer is – 'She is an honourable officer who has dedicated her life for the betterment of our nation'.
